Celebrating My Brother
Next Saturday, May 10th, I will be celebrating two awesome occasions! My mom’s birthday and my brother’s graduation from college! My brother, Tim, in his cap and gown. This will be a super special day for my brother, as well as for our entire family. Last March, my brother had a heart attack and had a couple of stents put in his heart. He was only 42 years old.

My job and my co-workers, who are all freakin’ fabulous! […]

A few weeks ago, this puppy was wondering around our country neighborhood. We lured him into our backyard, in hopes that the owner would come around looking for him. Three weeks later and he is now the newest addition to our family. When I found this quote, I thought, “How precious…” Photo Credit: Pinterest / Photo Source: aplacetolovedogs.com Doc has made a wonderful addition to our family. Dakota and Daisy have finally welcomed him into our home. Dakota (top); Daisy (middle); and Doc (bottom) If you have a pet, give them an extra special hug and show them that your […]
